you could buy so many cute items with that amount of money!   

YIKES!

Are you a journal writer?  I was when I was younger.  I whenever I come across the box that houses all my journals from those past years I love to peruse through them. 

More often than not most of my entries start out like this...

"Well, it's been a while since I last wrote."
Or...
"A lot has happened since I last wrote."

I feel like I'm beginning that trend again here.  I'm pretty sure my mom and dad are the only ones who check my blog every day to see if I've updated.  I've been really busy.  Like BUSY and I'm excited to get to share what I've been up to soon.  But for now, I've realized that I've left you guys out to pasture with my giveaway.  I sincerely apologize for not posting the winner when I said I would.

So, Missy!  You are the winner of a fabulous statement frame!

Thanks everyone and I promise I'll be back.  I'm currently in the middle of a whole new redesign for my site and I can't wait for you to see it!

St. Patty's Backlash

I forgot it was going to be St. Patrick's day on Sunday until Saturday night.  I hadn't planned anything fun for the kids like I'm sure you all did!  Sunday morning I had Ian put a couple drops of green food coloring in the kid's toilet without Liam noticing.  The boys were watching Darby O'Gill And The Little People and I got breakfast ready.   

I did get a little tricky with Liam's milk.  I poured a few drops of milk into his cup along with some green coloring.  I placed the cup back into the cupboard and had him come into the kitchen to help me with the waffles.  I pulled out the milk from the fridge and got his attention (by asking him questions about church) and poured "white" milk into his cup.  His eyes got so big when he saw the milk was green!  I told him that a leprechaun must be playing a trick on us.  Of course our picky child was too scared to drink it, but he thought it was cool anyways.

When he went in to the bathroom, his reaction was priceless as he noticed the leprechaun peed green and didn't flush!  Another trick!

It all backfired when Liam then was afraid to use that bathroom for the rest of the day because he was afraid there would be a leprechaun in there and hasn't wanted to drink milk since!

Supreming

Do you know what supreming is?  It sounds so pretentious, doesn't it?!  It's basically a fancy word for segmenting any citrus.  I learned about it years ago and actually feel fancy every time I do it.  It a perfect technique for fruit salad and desserts.  A "change your life" technique!  (Yes a little dramatic!)

A mentor of mine (a spunky glorious mentor of mine) just made a quick video all about it.  Libbie Summers is a master!
